After upgrading the locks on the doors (good deadbolts all round), bars on the windows and a decent buglar alarm (or change the company that I was with)...I would go back to basics with an 870 Remington for starters.

I have part of my grandfather's guns. There is an old nickel plated Harrington and Richardson in .38 Short (circa 1894, an old top break revolver), an old Hopkins and Allen 12 gauge shotgun that I know is at least a 100 years old, a Smith&Wesson I Model in .32 long that is marked NYPD (circa...

I would find an old blackpowder Hawken to put up there. An old flintlock or caplock would look great as would a pair of old ball and cap revolvers. I would still use a glass case for display to keep little one away from it. I have seen these somewhere mounted on a nice oak base. One thing...

I have a love/hate relationship with Charter Bulldogs. I had one of the early 3 inch models. I fired Remington hollow points with it. I also had some semi-wadcutters I used for target practice. The Bulldogs were a real pain to shoot back then...literally. I remember the hammer cutting the...

When I was young and dumb I carried a Sterling .22 Model 302. It worked and was viable with Stingers. But, was a poor choice since it is striker fired with no firing pin safety. I also did the Grendel P-10 thing, I had it for about two weeks. The most frustrating thing I ever owned. It...

It is more likely a conversion. But it, if it is only $400. Speed Sixes are robust. It would make a wonderful camp gun. I would rather have it than any of the Taurus or Charter Bulldogs which I had. You need a little more bulk when firing .44 ammo. Also the Rugers are more friendly to...

Oy Vey! The 9mm approaches .357 velocities out of a 16 inch barrel. A 9mm is no .308, but in an urban environment it shines when range is not an issue. We can argue 9mm vs .223 till the cows come home. A 9mm is perfectly suitable for home defense. You are going to have a hard time...

It would be selling a gun that I have the most regrets doing. I should have not sold my colt dective special even though it went back to the gunsmith twice for timing problems. It was the first decent gun I bought when I was 21 years of age. My actual first gun was a Sterling .22 which I...

My junk gun was a Grendel P 10 which would stovepipe on the last round everytime. The trigger pull was the worse I have ever experienced in any handgun, party by design. I also had some Ruger Speed Sixes which both had loose burrs from the cast investment process. They would rattle like baby...

The ole Warsaw Pact Scorpian machine gun was made in .32acp. I never saw one in the flesh, but remember them featured in some Chuck Norris films. Also it was suppose to be the favorite of "Calos The Jackel" a famed terrorist of the eighties.

Yes we all go through cycles. In the eighties I was into wondernines. Now I have gravitated to single stack ie slim guns like Kahr. I have a penchant for old pump shotgus, also. That desire never goes away. An 870 Remmington is one of the those guns that always "feels" right. In the...

LOL, yes Yoda...the lever action in .44 mag has always baffled me too with regards to Indiana hunting laws yet they will allow a .308 pistol. Indiana is a gun friendly state as far as possession. It is hard to explain to someone the "hoosier ethic" unless someone has experienced it. I did...

I have a J framed .32 colt long circa 1930s that was issued to N.Y.C. police. I even have the shoulder rig that went with it with the N.Y.C. stamp on it. It seems Teddy Roosevelt started the modern police force there settling on .32 revolvers for carry. They carried concealed as not to...

I live in Indianapolis, I was born and raised here. I spent twelve years of my life in California as a broker. I thank God everday that I returned to my roots. Indiana is not perfect but generally people are friendly and care for their neighbor. People watch out for each other and their...

The most unpleasant gun I had through the year was a Charter Arms Bulldog in .44 Special. I loved the concept of having a large bore in a small package. But the darn thing always bit my hand, I traded it for an old Colt Police Positive. I have passed on quite a few guns over the years. As...
